    Summary

    What happens when a director decides to make the ultimate meta-film - himself as the subject, object, and lens all at once?
    The result is either artistic brilliance or the most elaborate monument to self-regard ever captured on camera.

    Astarion - pale as moonlight, with an ego that could eclipse the sun - assembles a crew for his most ambitious project yet.
    Those who've lost the ability to be shocked attempt to capture layer upon layer of cinematic reality.

    This is the story of a production where the boundary between genius and absurdity blurs - until even the crew can't tell the difference.
    As meta-narratives spiral into infinity and reality fractures into prismatic shards, you'll witness the transformation of narcissism into something that transcends conventional categories.
    Is it art? Is it madness? Is it both?

    Summary

    It all starts with a bald fan sketch. Then a law. Then a dick pic. Then a scandal that spirals so hard it enters orbit. With the internet against him, his PR agent on the verge of quitting, and his not-quite-lover Tav watching the chaos unfold, Astarion must face the ultimate enemy: consequences.

    Summary

    Much to his chagrin, Astarion's life isn’t so very different from most people’s. He lives in a shitty apartment complex. He rides the bus to a low-paying job that he hates. The material realities of his existence keep him from following his dreams.

    To be fair, Astarion does happen to be better-looking than most of us. And he’s a vampire, too.

    But even though neither of those things seem to make our jaded vampire barista’s closing shift any less tedious, the arrival of his gorgeous new coworker, Adelaide, just might. And the excitement doesn’t end there; because Adelaide might also have a stalker, whose behavior grows bolder and more threatening with every passing day…

    Summary

    Octavia has a problem. Astarion has a lap rocket. What follows is a love story told entirely through the medium of wing dang doodles, beef curtains, high fructose porn syrup, and one steamin' semen truck that did not come with a safety manual.

    Featuring: an emotionally distant genital masseuse, an emoji war that escalates to a war crime, a genital sneeze of biblical proportions, and a falafel run that somehow hits harder than all of it.

    Summary

    In the moment of quiet that follows, I see that his gaze has become rather fond. Then, he speaks again: “Look at you, telling exotic stories with your wine, and your fruit, and your bare feet on the grass. You’re a real hedonist, aren’t you?”

    “What do you mean?”

    “Exactly that. You’re a pleasure seeker.”

    I take my last bite of apple and chew it slowly, setting the core beside me and raising my hand to my mouth to swallow before I reply, meeting his eyes; “Perhaps I am. And why not? Pleasure’s an honest thing, isn’t it? Aren’t you a hedonist?”

    He laughs, though I catch something almost wistful in his expression, just for a second.

    “Is that not obvious?”

    Is it? I look at him. And I feel my mouth becoming sultry, my heart growing bolder, the longer that I do.

    “To pleasure, then,” I say, raising my cup to my lips, and my wrist to Astarion. It's a toast, and a dare, and a question I must know the answer to.

    ~
    The intimate love story of Strix, a half wood elf ranger/assassin, and Astarion, from her perspective. Erotic acts, acts of violence, acts of care, and their intersections. Birds, and bloody fucking kisses.

    Nature is healing.
